The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

a fast, gravity-switching platformer with frequent deaths but quick recovery, offering an optional assist mode to lower difficulty.

What players say

Players describe it as a challenging retro platformer inspired by Super Meat Boy, Celeste, and VVVVVV. It is in early access with only one full world, and players appreciate the developer's bug-fixing responsiveness. Controls are simple, and the gravity mechanic adds a unique twist.
